G623 Large Angle, Waterproof, Submersible Tilt Sensor
CSA Approved Intrinsically Safe
sensors for Hazardous GAS atmospheres
Available in any travel from 15° to 160°.
The Positek G603 TIPS® (Tilt Inductive Position Sensor) incorporates
electronics system EX06 which is CSA approved for use in potentially
explosive gas/vapour atmospheres. The G603 is designed for industrial
and scientific feedback applications and is ideal for OEMs seeking
good sensor performance for arduous applications in hazardous areas.
It is sealed to IP68 350bar (5000psi, 3500m depth).
The G603, like all Positek®
sensors, is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required
by the customer, between 15 and 160 degrees and with full EMC protection
built in. The sensor provides a linear output characteristic with
angle of deflection. There is a machined registration mark to identify
the calibrated mid point.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over
a wide temperature range.
The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body. The flange has two 4.5mm
by 30 degree wide slots on a 48mm pitch to simplify mounting and position
adjustment. Environmental sealing is to IP67.
Positek
intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used with a galvanically
isolated amplifier . Approved
galvanic isolation amplifiers (G005) are available from Positek;
there is a choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
The sensor can be
installed with a cable length up to 1km between the sensor and the amplifier.

CSA approved to; Class I, Zone 0
Ex ia IIC T4 (Ta = -40°C to +80°C)
AEx ia IIC T4 (Ta = -40°C to +80°C)
Designates the sensor as belonging to; Class I, Zone 0:
suitable for all areas except mining, : can be used in areas
with continuous, long or frequent periods of exposure to
hazardous gas / vapours.
Protection class ia IIC, denotes intrinsically safe for Zones
0, 1 & 2 and IIA, IIB and IIC explosive gases.
Temperature class T4: maximum sensor surface
temperature under fault conditions 135°C.
Ambient temperature range extended to -40°C to +80°C.
Approval only applies to the specified ambient temperature range and atmospheric conditions in the range 0.80 to 1.10 Bar, oxygen <=21%. |
Galvanic Isolation
Amplifier
|
It is imperative Positek® intrinsically safe sensors be used in
conjunction with a galvanic barrier to meet the requirements
of the product certification. The Positek G005 Galvanic
Isolation Amplifier is purpose made for Positek IS sensors
making it the perfect choice. Refer to the G005 datasheet for
product specification and output configuration options.
The Positek®
G005 Galvanic Isolation Amplifier is available with 0.5 -
9.5V
or 4 - 20mA transmission output options or reverse outputs
of 9.5 - 0.5
volts or 20 - 4 mA. |

Preferences
Positek offers a range of options for its standard sensors.
Each sensor is manufactured to suit each customer's preferences.
If your requirement is outside the options given below,
Positek can modify/ redesign a sensor to suit your specific
requirement.
Standard options are available as below: |

Measurement range:
Factory set to Any angle from ±7.5°
to ±80°
in increments of 1°
For example, if your application requires 90°
measurement
then Positek will manufacture the sensor specifically
for this angular range.
The sensor will measure 90° however will still
rotate through 360°. |
Connector: |
Option code |
Axial micro wet mate bulkhead and mating connector with 50cm flying lead (Standard fit)
Mating connector with longer cables available as a special. |
J50 |
Free
Design Service
If you need a position sensor that is
outside the scope of the above options to suit your installation
requirement or specification, Positek will be happy to modify
or create a new design to suit your needs
